Bush's brain wash

Ihttp://litmuse.net/prompt_mailer2

In my recent reading of Norman Mailer's book "Why are We at War",I agree that Bush's persuit towards a single global economy will affect everyone foreign and local. Though the Bush campainge does'nt seem to have the capibilty nor support to globalize american idealogy, never underestimate stupidity at its finest. Bush's scare tactics have many people believing america is on the prink of being overran by a terrorist attack. Mailer's book also called out the false patroitism set forth by Bush's good and evil speech post-911 saying, " Free floating patriotism seemed like a direct measure of our free floating anxiety"(pg. 15) Bush has found many ways to tactfully play the public into persuation, using our fears of losing our economy to over take those of other countries. Bush has even used a system of colors to indicate danger threats of terrorist in our country, which is basically a propaganda that keeps everyday citizens in fear, effecting the ways we live in our community.

Another tactic Mailer found was something that the Bush administration uses to effect the thoughts of local citizens, by using the word evil to avoid the real questions on his campainge. Mailer say's "One of Bush's worst faults in rhetoric was to use the word evil as if were a button he could push to increase power.Bush uses the evil button as a narcotic for the part of the american public that feels the most distressed.He believes this country is the only hope for the world. He also fears that the country is rapidly growing more dissolute, and the only solution may be feel mighty, and near holy words- the only solution may be to strive for world empire".(pg 51) Mailer put to words what I thought was a brain wash on the Bush campaign. Bush uses many different approaches on how to affect the thinking of local patirotism. Hopefully people will start paying more attention to how our politics are working, before we are fooled into another world war.

Bush's policies have effected everyone from the local to a global level. The fact that he got elected twice shows our inability to watch our hard earned tax dollars be tossed around like monopoly money. Bush also affects the lives of local citizens that have to send their sons off to war to fight for somthing they may not even blieve in. It is the people that suffer for capital gain. The Bush brain wash will not work if citizens actually start taking interest who we put in power. It would be a shame to loss the diversity of the world to a stubborn cowboy.

Enter Darth Bush

Like a bad scene out of "Star Wars," the bush administration is on a global take over. I agree with Norman Mailer's novel "Why are we at War?", "capitalism does have this tendancy to take over large parts of the economies of other countries. Often we are the next thing to cultral barbarians. We don't always pay attention to what we are trampling. What intensifies the anger is how often we are succeful in these commercial invasions"(pg.24). Darth President Bush "as I like to refer him as,"does have a stubborn cowboy outlook of a global economy. Take over everyone then start from scratch. Thankfully there are people in the world who do see a difference in global peace and global capital."Norman Mailer nailed the thought I already precieved on the head, the Bush administration has no clue as to what cultural values they are changing. A brighter outlook would be to view each culture librally(ugly word for Bushians, not meeting there concepts of capitalism) and unite through a global support system, allowing each society to choose what is best for their people's well being.

If America is a true Christian nation, a nation with the freedom of God and that of compassion, then our people need to practice less power and greed for commmon wealth and start practicing a smarter mythed of democracy.One that practices values of equality and well being for everyone poor and rich. Unlike, the capitalist race for the top of who can own the biggest and the most. One global economy would be great but it can't be forced by power and money. Being a Christian nation is not supposed to mean more money for ourselves but more for our country men.

Norman Mailer also brought to light that, America after 9/11, gained a false sense of patriotism. There was a sudden boom in patriotism after the terrioristic attack on the world trade centers .The sudden rise also indicated that most americans that did not care, all of the sudden have huge interest in striking back the terriorist for there trespasses. That false patriotism got Darth Bush relected for another four years of america looking like arrogate cowboys. Patriotism should be held in high esteem even in times of a poor economy and lack of proper leadership. If Americans want to become a leader in global economy then we need to start practicing in more active politics and start paying more attention to who we elect to run as the leaders of the free world. A lack of attenion to politics can lead to a loss of more freedoms (A.K.A. The patriot act). Thankfully there are people who stay devoted to the human rights we are all entitled. If not for your Norman Mailers, Al Gores, and good common citizens our nation could go tubbling down a dark path of global disastor. Don't be blinded by propaganda. Look into the leaders of our democracy and make sure they are doing there jobs. Common people still have the majority power over our country. Politicians must listen to the citizens or we can boot them to the curb. "All we have to loss is our chains"(Carl Marx). Be active in politics or you could get another Darth Bush in our near future, set to violate human rights for a profit. America is the greatest country on Earth, now its time to start acting like it.
